DEFENDANTS SHOCKED BY VERDICT OF GUILTY Jury Recommends Mercy for Pair. | Court Denies Motion to | Set Aside Verdict. By the Associated Preas EW YORK, January 30.—Gaston officials, and was sentenced to pay a | fine of $10,000 and to serve a two- | vear penitentiary term | Thomas B. Felder, Means' attorney, who was convicted of a similar charge, was fined $10,000. The sen- |tences were imposed by Federal Judge | Lindley after the jury had returned a sealed verdict which had found the defendants guilty, but recommended | clemency. The court denied motions | to set aside the verdict on the ground that it was contrary to the weight of evidence. Felder sald he would immediately file an appeal. He expressed confl- dence that the conviction would be reversed by the Circult Court of Ap- s and declared his charge notwithstanding the ver- | dict of the jury } Means Alxo to Appeal. { Means had nothing to say, but his lecounsel said an appeal would also be {filed in his case. Means is already ! under sentence of two years and a | fine of $10,000 for violation of the | Volstead act, but today's sentence, on | the motion of Hiram C. Todd, special | Unitea States Attorney, is not to be | concurrent with the previous one. 1t Felder's sentence is confirmed, by the higher court, he will be di ! barred from practice of law The verdict was a shock to Felder, & white-haired veteran attorney of 42 years' experience, who had confidently | expected to be exonerated. Felder and Means had arrived in court about {10 minutes before the verdict was read Means, who had appeared nervous vesterday afternoon, seemed confident this morning and was obviously startled by the verdict. The verdict, returned by the first judge-picked jury to function in a Federal court trial here, marks one of many high lights in the sensational career of Means. At intervals In the past eight years he figured in a series of episodes, ranging from trial for murder to ac- cusations of graft, in which the names of men prominent in public life were bandied about The present case got into the courts when a Federal grand jury last March indicted Means, Felder and El- mer W. Jarnecke, who had been known as secretary to Means, on the Jjustice obstruction conspiracy charge. | Ofcials of the Crager System, Inc., and the Glass Casket Co. of Altoon Pa., charged the trio with having ob- tained $65,000 from them on their representation that it would be spent in bribing high Government officlals to call off their prosecution on ~(Continued on Page 4, Column 6.)

By tiie Associated Press | Emile Coolidge told the President presentation Daeschner today, upon | of his credentials as French Ambas sador, that the co-operation of the | two countries during the war should be extended to the payment of their | “materfal debts” as well as their debts of gratitude. Making reference to the close com panionships created during the war, the Ambassador said that the French people, “who after six vears of peace must still labor in the reconstruc- tion of their homes,” were deeply grateful for the aid given in their hour of trial by the United States. Statement Held Significant. The Ambassador's direct reference to the debts which embody the out- standing open question between Washington and Paris, was regarded | in aiplomatic circles as carrying with it a far-reaching significance. It is unusual on such occasions to go by vond the generalities of diplomatic courtesy. After presenting his letters of credence, the Ambassador told the President he would find in them. i(oge(her with an expression of per |sonal greetings from the President lof France, “further evidence of the |earnest concern of France and her government in the maintenance and development of the relations of inti- | mate and ancient friendship between | |our countries that have been cement- |ed by the trials and sacrifices, at once painful and glorious, that they have been jointly undergone.” | Franco-American co-operation, the | Ambassador said, ‘‘can be continued | usefully in the study of the problems | on which, together with the main- tenance of peace, the restoration of | the world's financial balance depends.” | “The auspicious beginning of the | plan of financial organization recent- |1y put into operation,” M. Daeschner | said, “shows how valuable and effec- | tive is the co-operation of America, which my government hopes to see continue, whether in general matters or in the consideration of question in which our two countries are ex- | clusively interested.” Cites Interdependence. After an allusion to the growing in- terdependence of nations, and to the part taken by the United States in the financial organization of Europe, | M. Daeschner concluded with these words: “They still have daily wel- come “History, which often repeats it- self in the life of peoples, has demon- strated that France and America have in turn extended to each other at critical moments in their exist- ence mutual and eflicacious assist- ance, thus paying to each other their debt of gratitude, just as they are firmly solicitous, whenever the case arises, of paying their material debts. | “You may be assured that T shall spare no effort in carrying to a suc- cessful issue, with the assistance you | extend to me, the high mission with which I have been intrusted, and the great importance and honor of which I fully realize.” i COLLEGE BOYS ROBBED.

January 30 —Crowded together in one compari- ment of thelr vessel to escape the fumes of escaping chlorine gas, the 46 officers and men of the submar S-48, which struck the entrance to on the rocks off Portsmouth Harbor early last evening, were rescued to- day by coast guardsmen. For hours through the night it was thought the vessel had foundered, but at dawn flashlight signals summoned the res- cuers to new efforts. The hull of the submarine was punctured by contact with rocks off Jaffrey Point and her forw compartments became flooded. Ear today a huge wave swept her from the rocks and drove her into the safe shelter of Little Harbor. There she rested on a sandy bed when day dawned, but the crew faced a new danger in the escape of gas. Urgent signals flashed by means of a pocket Jamp told coast guardsmen on that their services were still u eded Taken in Small Boats.

At Fort Constitution, where they were taken, Army physicians said that none of the men was seriously harmed by the_experience Because of the leakage of chlorine gas the members of the crew were a crowded together in one compartmer of the submarine when rescued, accord ing to coast guardsmen. Throughout the night, when there was hope that a line might be sent on board, several seamen lashed themselves to the rigging o thal they might receive the line and make it fast. At noon the officers and crew were still at the Army base at Fort Consti- tution recovering from their hard ex- perience. 1t was said at the navy yard that no attempt would be made to pull the S-48 off until her condition is ascer- tained.
